minipainter Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 In the insuing chaos prior to the battle, Dymitri moves to a position directly in the path of the new threat and the injured hippogriff. He quickly checks Kaylie's position, and readies his crossbow to fire. He watches from his position as Tarail, Brull and Reg advance across the field of low scrub. Brull and Reg taking, what looks like flanking positions, attacking from right and left. Macsen holds his position, crossbow at the ready and it looks as if Lanae is gathering energy to cast a spell. We are ready...bring it on. He thinks to himself. Tarail sees it first loosing a volley of arrows at the beast, then it breaks in to the clearing, serpentine body of a snake and the fore parts of a panther. Dymitri looks at the new threat, and thinks What kind of abomination is this??? Macsen fires first, followed closely by Dymitri's own bolt gotta get another bolt off he thinks as he reloads. This looks like it's gonna be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Tam Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 As the group moves into combat, Archie lets loose with a volley of magic missiles that strike with uncanny accuracy. Those with ranged weapons are able to get their missiles off. All three hit their target unerringly, causing the strange creature to howl in pain! Brull spurs his hardy pony forward and leaps from the saddle, swinging his might axe, it hit the creature’s tough hide sending scales flying. With a speed that belies it size it whirls and makes a swipe at the barbarian, raking nasty claws across Brulls chest, leaving a wound the burns like fire! Reg’s attack also scores a hit, on one of the creature front limbs. Lanea using her magic cause a ball of fire to appear, that hisses as it rolls across the damp snow covered grass, the ball move at her direction. It rolls up and into the creature causing it to screech in pain once more. From the path behind the creature a hooded and cloaked figure rides up,Jumping off his mounth, the stranger draws on a long bow in hand with arrow knocked…It send said arrow flying unerringly into the creature, harrying it from behind.

Troileschilde Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 He smiles to himself. Travellers in need, a monster to defeat and all in the service of his goddess. "I love my job." He nocs another arrow to his bow and takes aim to fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Watching his first two arrows strike home with a smug look of satisfaction, Tarail pulls his mount to a stop and fires two more arrows at the beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogle Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Reg pounces on the creature aiming at it's limbs hoping to cripple it's movements, attacking whenever it's head moves away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern Kestrelmann Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Pain! Burning! Must crush... This... Beast... Brull, slowed momentarily by the beast's slashing attack to his chest, bellows another snarling war cry and presses another attack of his own. Using his legs to hold himself firmly a top the creatures's back, Brull swings is double axe downward in a powerful raging strike.

minipainter Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What is he doing?! Dymitri thinks to himself as he sees Brull launch himself from his saddle on to the beast, delivering a savage attack with his double axe. Dymitri sees the creature react to the attack almost eviscirating Brull, who barely keeps his footing on the beasts back. Gotta stop this quick, before someone gets killed as he yells over the sounds of battle, "Take it down quick people!!!" Dymitri watches Macsen send another bolt towards the beast as Lanae's "rolling fire ball" scaulds it. His crossbow loaded once again, Dymitri, brings the creature in to his sights, aiming at the thing's head, he takes a breath, calming himself Aim small, hit small father always said, lets finish this. he thinks, and whispering for a blessing from the Furies, to guide his bolt true, Dymitri fires.

Lady Tam Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 Archie makes a daring attack, but his tail stinger is unable to penetrate the beast think hide. Even as he swoops up and away another volley of missiles flies in! A few hit while others bounce off, but they are enough to cause the beast the once again yowl in pain. Brulls furious attack hits, but the young barbarian feel a weakness in his arms that wasn’t there before, even as he watches a chunk of the creature go flying!. Reg, ducking and moving fast scores another hit, but as he does so the creature serpentine tail crashes into him and sends him flying backwards. Lanea’s keeps moving her ball of fire , trying to keep it on the creature yet away from the group, causing the smell of more burnt flesh to rise. From her vantage kaylie, smiles grimly as she sends eldritch missiles of her own at the creature, nodding in satisfaction when they strike true. (Brull has four points of dam {from previous attack} and your Str is down 2 pts from the poison. Reg took 6 pts dam from the tail.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted August 29, 2005 Moderator Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hissing madly, Archibald attempts to sting the creature in the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styates Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Seeing the frontly assault in much trouble, Tarail again spurs his mount forward, slinging his bow and drawing his sword in preparation for the attack. He knows that this could be the end for him, but he raises his battle cry as he charges, trying to distract the beasts attention away from his wounded comrades.

Stern Kestrelmann Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Still in the grip of his barbaric Rage, Brull ignores the tingling sensation in his arms and the weakness his lowerback. The half-orc berserker fights on with a single purpose in mind... Kill. Slashing once more, Brull attempts to hack at the already exposed section of the beast's scaly hide as he cries out another snarling battle taunt. "<orc> BOW DOWN TO MY SAVAGE POWER BEAST! DEATH TO YOU!</orc>" SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coogle Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Reg rolls heavily with the hit, coming up his rib's aching, he rushes back in going for the back of the monster's head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minipainter Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Seeing his bolt deflect off the creature's scaly head Dymitri thinks, OK, that didn't work. as he reloads for another volley. He moves his mount closer to the battle, smelling the charred flesh of the beast, caused by Lanae's "fire ball", as he moves. Arch comes from out of the steel grey sky and attacks with his tail stinger, hissing at the beast as he passes. And, Kaylie unleashes a volley of magic missles which strike the beast with unerring accuracy. As Brull and Reg attack the beast visciously, Reg takes a hit from the beasts thrashing tail. He hits the ground, but is up in a snap looking for his next opening. Then he sees Brull pause for just the slightest moment This can't be good, I guess it's time to get up close and personal. he thinks. Seeing Tarail wheel his mount about and draw his sword for a horse charge, Dymitri hooks his crossbow across his saddle horn, and slides from his saddle, unsheathing the archaic chain at his side. He feels the weight of it in his hands and begins to spin it. The familiar drone of angry bees comes to mind as he begins to "dance". Then seeing an opening he rushes the beast yelling, "DIE BEAST UNDER THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE FURIES' STORM!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troileschilde Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 He sights down his arrow for the creatures spine. He looses the missile and draws his next black arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
